Cheers for that PEMBO , by the way next time i,m the the S.Modeller l,ll have to say hi

Keep meanin to pop in and show simon my new wheels lol

I'm up for a run over to Blackpool if I'm available.

Apparently the best night to go is the last nite of the illuminations (sunday 4th Nov) as there is a big fire work display .

I can do that.... The only dates which I couldnt make would be Sat 20th. Sat 27th and Sunday 28th. I don't expect it to be planned around me though! :P

Nor me on the 20th / 27th & 28th , be better going for the last weekend 3rd & 4th Nov . VRSPhil u in redcar tomorrow , i,m at the folks for sunday dinner again lol give u a flash if i see you

I'll keep my eyes out if I'm out and about :P

4th of Nov should be ok for me too, but Ill have to do some begging with SWMBO:rofl:

Question is.....Where do I park?

The only times I used to go to Blackpool which used to be every year, was in a coach full of friends & family that we borrowed off Arriva;)

There are loads of car parks... :P

Best one to park in is the mulit-story one underneath the police station on Bonney Street / Chapel Street (right behind sealife centre) police in & out all the time , cctv & undercover , two minute walk to the sea front too .

I love the drive over the 66 and down the M6

Yep it is a very good run , A66 should be ready to open up fully soon , they have been making it dual for a while now , last time i used it few weeks back it was all new tarmac & lines painted on it , be a lot better when it opens up fully . Often have a run up to Penrith market on a saturday or over to Keswick / Kendal , better still the pizza shop in Appleby In Westmoreland , the two lasses who own/run it are from Darlington , still dont sell parmos yet tho .

I went over the 66 last Sunday, it was in a similar state - finished but still coned off. They're probably just waiting for a batch of gatso's!

I use that stretch of road quite a bit (Scotch Corner to Penrith) , you sometimes see the odd camera van but now i think the police will be **** hot when it opens up fully .

Hopefully we,ll get a few to drive over to Blackpool end of the month

Give the A66/M6 some stick

Shall we confirm the 4th then?

Shall we confirm the 4th then?

Pending a word with SWMBO, and my mum being out of hospital, Im up for it:thumbup:
